• Use language injections in Fenced Code: enables automatically injecting language based on fenced code info string

• Use language injection in HTML Blocks: enables automatic injection of HTML in HTML blocks

• Enable Annotations: enables error and warning annotations for markdown documents

• Toggle inline code like text style: when enabled, toggle code action will toggle code marking on/off like bold, italic and other text elements. When disabled this action will add additional nesting of back-quotes.

• emoji icons in line markers: when enabled will show emoji icons in the line markers gutter for the line containing the emoji

• Use asterisks (*) for italic text: when enabled asterisks * will be used for italic action, otherwise underscores _ will be used.

• Replace Editor Drag and Drop Handler: in older IDEs enables replacing editor drag/drop handler. Newer IDEs do not require this override for drag/drop file handling to work.

• Customize Paste Handler: enables custom paste handler.

  ⚠️ Latest IDE versions can cause exceptions in the IDE paste handler. Markdown Navigator plugin adds its custom handler to customize markdown specific paste actions. Any actions not specific to markdown or occurring in non-markdown documents are passed through to the IDE paste handler. If the IDE paste handler causes an exception, the IDE assumes it is a plugin issue. This setting was added to allow disabling the plugin custom paste handler to allow IDE caused exceptions to be properly recognized as an IDE problem, not the plugin.

  Plugin versions 2.5.0 and later have detection of IDE caused exceptions and will offer you to disable paste handler customization to allow passing these exceptions to JetBrains.

  • Use clipboard text/html content: enables using mime text/html content when available. When disabled mime text/html content will be ignored and plain text version used instead.
    • Convert HTML content to Markdown: when enabled, pasting mime text/html content will be converted to markdown before pasting. Disable this options to paste text/html as HTML. Converting HTML to Markdown can always be done via the Convert HTML to Markdown intention on HTML elements.

• Toggle Style Punctuations: defines which punctuations at the end of a word to be excluded from being wrapped in the inline style markup. This affects only style toggle actions when no manual selection is provided and the caret is at the start or end of a space delimited word.

• Split preview for HTML documents: enables plugin's HTML preview for HTML documents. Mainly intended to preview HTML documents exported from Markdown documents but works reasonably well for all HTML documents within the preview browser limitations.

• Vertical Text/Preview Split: enables editor/preview split vertical orientation, placing the preview panel horizontally below the editor.

• Toggle Editor Layout Action: select which layout configurations to use for toggle action:

  • Text/Split Layout: will toggle between text only, split layout
  • Text/Preview Layout: will toggle between text only and preview only layouts.

• Hide toolbar: enabling this will hide the Markdown document toolbar

• Hide disabled toolbar buttons: enabling this will hide any toolbar buttons which are not enabled to save toolbar space.

  • Default: markdown documents use IDE soft wrap setting
  • Disabled: markdown documents have soft wrap disabled
  • Enabled: markdown document have soft wrap enabled

• Soft wrap at right margin: enables having the soft wrap applied at Markdown right margin setting. Default for the IDE is to wrap text at the window right edge.

• Syntax Highlighting:: selects type of syntax highlighter for markdown documents:

  • Annotator: sets external annotator for syntax highlighting. This gives the best typing response at the cost of a slight delay for syntax highlighting.
  • Lexer: set the syntax annotation to be performed during file lexer processing. This setting results in fastest syntax highlighting updates at the cost of slower typing response.
  • None: syntax highlighting will be disabled for markdown documents.

• Show breadcrumb text: enables showing bread crumbs for markdown documents with maximum of specified characters for the element.

• Typing update delay (ms):: sets the delay for preview from typing modification. Higher value will make smoother typing response at an increase in delay for the preview.

• Disable GIF images in preview: enabling this setting will disable all GIF image display in preview. Large, animated GIFs can cause the preview to use a disproportional amount of memory and cause the IDE to appear to hang as the GC spends all available time trying to free up memory. This setting will prevent display of all GIFs, eliminating this issue.

• Show 'Apply all ...' intentions on any element: enables showing all available Apply all ... actions in the document, regardless of whether they apply to the current element at caret position. Disabling, will only show Apply All ... actions that apply to the element at caret.

• Show heading anchor id: enables showing heading anchor id next to the element in the text editor.
